Chapter 123: The First Battle of the Founding of Xizhou (Part II)
From the very beginning, the battle was a never-ending one.
The morale of the Grass Thistle Mountain Rebel Army was high, while the Xizhou Army, which had just experienced defeat and escape, was demoralized.
The Xizhou army, which originally had 24,000 people, now has less than 10,000 people, and only more than 7,000 people remain.
In the last battle, some soldiers have been killed, some have been captured, some have chosen to desert, and some soldiers have escaped from the main army and are still on their way back.
These more than 7,000 people can be regarded as the last force that can resist the righteous army of Caojishan in the entire Xizhou.
At the beginning, the Hanzhou herdsmen recruited soldiers and horses from the entire Xizhou counties, and now there are less than 500 soldiers and horses left in the counties.
As long as these more than 7,000 people are wiped out, any county in Xizhou wants to rebel against the Caojishan Rebels, and it is completely a mantis arm as a car.
On the side of the Grass Ji Mountain Righteous Army, with the addition of soldiers and horses from the six counties, it already has more than 8,000 people, nearly 9,000.
These more than 8,000 soldiers were divided into three routes, attacking from the front, left and right, leaving the only way for the Xizhou army to retreat.
Originally, the retreat of the Xizhou army was the ships of Lang County, but they would not have thought that the only hope they saw was completely blocked, and when the ships of Lang County arrived, not only would they not transport them to the other side, nor would they provide them with support, but on the contrary, they would help the Grass Ji Mountain Rebels to take their lives.
At that time, they no longer had the courage to break the net, so they could only obediently tie their hands in panic.
This is a clear circumference of three missing one, giving the enemy army a hope that they can lead to a way out, but in fact they are not given any back road at all.
At this time, with 8,000 against 7,000, the morale of one side was still high and the morale of the other side was low, and the battle situation was completely one-sided slaughter.
The only two highlights are the confrontation between several Jindan monks.
The bag cat took the gourd magic weapon captured from General Ge and dealt with the master of the Deng Sect.
Master Deng was holding a spear glowing with purple light in his hand, and he was wearing a simple eagle head ring on his finger, both of which were magic weapons of the Jindan cultivation level.
The power of the spear is amazing, sweeping can break the mountain, vertical slashing can break the water, and the straight stab is indestructible.
The Eagle Head Ring can release a Giant Eagle Ethereal Spirit to assist in combat, and the Giant Eagle Ethereal Spirit can attack, defend, and harass enemies on behalf of its owner.
These two treasures are treasures of the Giant Eagle Gate for hundreds of years, in order to respond to the call of Han Zhou Mu, and also know that the Jindan monks in the bandit army are not simple, so the master of the Deng Sect will specially take out these two treasures of the town faction.
However, the cultivation of the master of the Deng Sect is not as good as the bag cat, so relying on these two magic weapons, he can only barely play a tie with the bag cat, except for some captives and secret methods that are not used, he almost has all the hole cards, but he is still at a disadvantage, and the bag cat has been fighting against it in human form from beginning to end, and has not used the real hole cards.
And another battle circle.
When the last arrow in the arrow basket was shot, but there was still no result, he decisively withdrew the golden bow, rode out, and met Wei Yuxiao.
But just when he was fighting with Wei Yuxiao, the mountain frog who had been hiding in the army and pretended to be an ordinary soldier suddenly came out, caught him off guard, and directly attacked him in the back with a dagger, the whole dagger sank into his body, knocked him off his mount, and fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
That dagger was a short-bladed magic weapon that had been captured from Tian Hong before.
General Lin was seriously injured by this knife, and he was unable to parry it in the face of Wei Yuxiao and the mountain frog.
Even if the mountain frog still has injuries on its body, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the suppression of cultivation is not something that can be made up for by a little injury, not to mention that General Lin's injuries at this time are much more serious than those of the mountain frog.
After a while, General Lin was covered in bruises.
Wei Yuxiao slashed off one of his arms with a sword, causing him to let out a heart-rending scream, and the mountain frog slapped his Tanzhong acupoint with a palm, hitting him again until he vomited blood and flew upside down.
This time, he couldn't get up again after he fell to the ground, and could only lie on the ground and vomit blood.
This scene shocked the soldiers of the Xizhou army around them, and the defeat of a Jindan monk was also a catastrophic blow to morale.
Wei Yuxiao decisively stepped forward to mend the knife and harvested General Lin's head.
When she lifted General Lin's bloody head, a chain reaction was triggered within the Xizhou army, and large swaths of soldiers collapsed.
Master Deng was also aware that the situation was not good.
He wanted to get out and stop fighting with the bag cat, so that he could take a boat to join Han Zhoumu, so as not to besiege him than three Jindan monks.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The more anxious he was, the more flaws he revealed.
The bag cat seized the opportunity, and after finding a flaw in the master of the Deng Gate, he immediately launched a fierce attack.
With just one blow, he knocked the Deng Sect Master upside down, and even the spear in his hand fell out of his palm and fell to the ground.
The bag cat stepped forward decisively, grabbed the spear, and then stared at the master of the Deng Sect who was about to get up.
Master Deng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the danger of death lingered in his heart.
Without hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran away.
The bag cat, the mountain frog, and Wei Yuxiao chased him closely from different directions, not giving him a chance to escape at all.
On the entire battlefield, the soldiers of the Xizhou army spun around like headless flies, and the others fled from this Shura field.
And a chaotic battlefield can seriously hinder everyone's progress.
Wei Yuxiao and the three of them didn't have to worry about the soldiers of the Xizhou army in front of them at all, and the three of them killed them directly.
In order to survive, Lord Deng also shot and killed the soldiers who stood in front of him.
The ferocity of the four frightened the soldiers one after another, and soon cleared a clearing full of corpses, and the first thing to clear was the area between Wei Yuxiao and the Deng Sect Master.
Without any obstacles, Wei Yuxiao decisively raised his sniper rifle and hit the hind leg of the mount under the crotch of the master of Deng Sect.
Master Deng fell to the ground and could only escape on his legs.
But where can two legs outrun the four legs of a mount?
Soon, he was overtaken by the Pocket Cat.
The bag cat slashed out with a sword, and the surging aura turned into a surging flame that enveloped him.
He had to block with all his might.
However, the Thyrocyptune's attack was not something he could easily block, and he was able to block the surging flames, and he saw a spear glowing with purple light poke out of the flames.
He was terrified, but he didn't have time to dodge at all, and he was directly stabbed in the heart.
The Giant Eagle Gate Sect Master, who once shocked the entire Western State, has fallen.
The general in charge of the command in the Xizhou army saw this scene, completely stunned, now he didn't know what to do, without the help of Brother Jindan, now whoever commands will die, he thought about it and ran away decisively.
As a result, the entire Xizhou army completely lost its command and became even more chaotic.
They pinned their only hope on the fleet that was sailing, but at this moment, the treasure ship carrying Han Zhoumu suddenly stopped motionless on the river, and the sailors on board jumped into the river one after another, leaving behind Han Zhoumu with a look of disbelief and a bewildered look of the whole army.
